How to set trigger system
Trigger is to determine when DSO starts to acquire data and waveform display. Once
trigger to be set correctly then it will convert the unstable display to meaning
waveform.
When DSO start to acquire data it will acquire enough data to form waveform on left
of trigger point. DSO continues to acquire data when it waits for trigger condition
happen. Once it detect out the trigger it will acquire enough data continuously to
form the waveform on right of trigger point.
Trigger control area include 1 knob and 4 menu keys.
Trigger level
: trigger level knob to set signal voltage correspond to trigger point.
SET 50%
: set trigger level in middle vertical point of trigger signal voltage range,
this setting is disable at the FFT mode.
FORCE TRIG:
Force to a trigger signal and mainly to use in “Normal” and
“Single” mode.
SET TO ZERO:
Trigger horizontal position set to Zero.
Trig MENU:
Press this key and panel display menu.
Trigger Control
The oscilloscope provides two trigger types: single trigger and alternate trigger. Press
F1 to choose.
Single trigger
: Use a trigger level to capture stable waveforms in two channels
simultaneously
Alternate trigger
: Trigger on non-synchronized signals.
The
Single Trigger
and
Alternate Trigger
menus are described respectively as
follows:
Single trigger
Single trigger has four modes: edge trigger, video trigger, pulse triggger and slope
trigger .
Edge Trigger
:
It happens when a specified
voltage level
passes through the trigger input
in the
specified slope direction.
Video Trigger:
Carry out field or line video trigger on the standard video signal.
Pulse Trigger
:
Use this trigger type to catch pulses with certain pulse width..
Slope Trigger
: The oscilloscope begins to trigger according to the signal rising or falling
speed.
The four trigger modes in Single Trigger are described respectively as follows:
Edge Trigger
An edge trigger occurs on trigger threshold value of input signal . Select Edge trigger
Mode to trigger on Rising edge, falling edge or rising & falling edge
The
Edge Trigger Menu
is shown as Fig.5-19
